Looking for new wheels... Which one do you think?

[Kyle87T]

I want to purchase one of the following sets of wheels, but I am having a hard time making a decision. I really like the ring of chrome nuts that run around the wheels and I really like mesh wheels. I have a black Supra that is going to have a body kit with bomex side skirts. Hopefully that will give you a little picture of what I am driving. I have 3 options here that I have been so close to buying, but I keep finsing newer wheels I like and are affordable. Here are the options


OPTION #1 - Sportmax 006 Mesh Wheels

OPTION #2 - Ruff Racing 280 5-Spoke Wheels

OPTION #3 - NZO Corsa Black 5- Spoke Wheels

www.nzowheels.com (Go to Wheels, then Corsa Black.)




Any benefits for more than the others? Practicality? Not enough experience?

The RR 280 wheels I havent really seen any on a Supra and whether it would look good on our cars because our cars are so boxy. Some wheels just dont look right.

The sportmax 006 wheels I love because there arent too many spokes and it looks very aggresive, but it doesnt have that polished ring of nuts on the wheels, which I would have liked to get.

The NZO Corsa Wheels are sort of like SSR SP1 wheels and I love those rims with a passion. A bit skiny compared to the SP1's, but very nice.

Option 1 FTW!

 

[Kyle87T]

This is a pretty mixed decision... I am definately thinking of eliminating the NZO rims.

I'm the only idiot that picked three.....................:biglaugh:

 

[GotTurbos?]

ruff wheels are heavy... I should know.

I dont know how much the others weight though.

 

[Kyle87T]

I just got an email from someone selling the Ruff wheels and he told me that the 280 model weighs in at 22lbs. Thats pretty damn good for a 18x9.5 wheel, unless hes lying which is a possibility.

Are you going to buy the wheels that have the majority vote?

 

[Supracentral]

Ruff 280's = pure sex.

 

[CampbellsChunkySoupra]

1 FTW

 

[NA86.5]

number 1

Are you going to buy the wheels that have the majority vote?

No no. I just want to hear peoples opinions on why they like one more than the other. The poll was just an externality that I will lightly take into account when I decide on the appropriate wheels for me.

*Update* I have been searching around for the NZO Corsa Black rims, and from my understanding they are discontinued and are no longer available. So... That option may have to be scratched from the list.

 

[OneJoeZee]

OK Well I voted for the sport max

 

[Kyle87T]

The thing I want to hear is WHY you chose that particular option over the others. What are the benefits, past experiences, and in general, what makes the other stand out more.

What I am curious to know is, will the Ruff Racing 280 wheels work well with our cars since our cars are very boxy compared to the roundness of the rims themselves. If you scrolled down in the link I sent you for the RR 280 wheels, you can see an orange 350Z with the wheels and they look amazing, but the 350z is very round and smooth unlike our cars.

I just don't like other 2 options look.
